  • Title: A new approach in clinical neuropsychology to the assessment of spatial working memory: the block suppression test.
    Author: Beblo T, Macek C, Brinkers I, Hartje W, Klaver P.
    Journal: J Clin Exp Neuropsychol; 2004 Feb; 26(1):105-14. PubMed ID: 14972698.
    Abstract:
    The Block Suppression Paradigm developed by Beblo, Klaver, Grubich, Wachowius, and Herrmann (1999) is based on the Corsi Block tapping test and requires that a subject reproduces every 2nd block in a given sequence. Results from two studies of a standardized version, the Block Suppression Test (BST), are presented here. In Study 1 the BST was administered to 48 healthy subjects along with a battery of comprehensive neuropsychological tests. The reliability of the BST proved satisfactory under psychometric analysis, while Principal Component Analysis (PCA) confirmed its validity. In Study 2 the BST was administered to a clinical sample of 31 brain-damaged patients to demonstrate its clinical practicability.
